Nice! Thanks for documenting the CAI. I may have to order one of those!!
Just got my MazdaSpeed CAI!

Guess I am the first on the board!
Here are the pix everyone wants:

The intake is very well made, the two pipes are TIG welded and the welds are of excellent quality and appearance (there is some minor over penetration, no big deal)
There are two silicone couplers: one 90*, one straight
Two MazdaSpeed die cut stickers (would look good on my toolbox ;-) )
Two bottles of cleaner for the filter (this is good for one cleaning at 20,000 miles if you follow the instructions)
One AEM dry-flow filter
One splash shield
Bolts, clamps, and hardware all packed neatly in Styrofoam popcorn with MazdaSpeed on the side of the box
The instructions are clear, and should be enough for anyone to follow. (Mazda wrote them for their own techs)
It is not necessary to remove the front bumper as with the CP-e CAI.
Not much else to say about it now... I paid $310 and picked up at Tonkin after work (guess I had to pay shipping too, not really bothered about it though)
I will be installing this Saturday at the latest. (and sometime after that my TurboXS race pipe and Hybrid BOV might actually arrive)
And I will leave you with a pix of intakes being loaded onto the UPS truck (one trip of many)

so this mazda speed intake is how much and could you deliver to NC????
[/quote]
these is a gb in the gb section for $310 shipped
[/quote]
Hey Ron Tonkin....will this gb still be in effect in a few months? This is a sweet deal you have going.
I am sure I will be able to get one through my dealer in Canada, but I am all about saving a buck
My car is sitting at port right now so not quite ready to order ....
[/quote]
well i might do another one later if the demand is there or pm me when your ready and we can work something out
[/quote]
Man I REALLY hope so, There is NO way I can talk my fiance into letting me get this anytime soon.. haha, she would definitely not be happy right now. HAHA.. I barely talked her into letting me get the Race Pipe.
